Stanford's Problem with Blacking Out
Levi Lebovitz explores the recent crackdown on fraternities through a psychoanalytic lens, examining the intersection of achievement culture and excessive drinking.
This fall, Stanford freshmen missed out on infamous all-campus parties like EuroTrash, KAbo, and White Lies, which are core memories for many students.
- These parties are often hosted by fraternities.
- The University is holding fraternities accountable for "transports" - hospitalizations due to excessive drinking.
The University seems to believe that fraternities should provide spaces for responsible socialization, not alcoholic excess.
However, punishing fraternities for transports may only address a small part of a larger issue.
Author's summary: Stanford's crackdown on fraternities may not solve the underlying problem of excessive drinking.
